Eric Raymond, et alia, released a letter today addressing
Steve Ballmer's more frequent musings about taking parts of
Windows OpenSource.  (http://linuxtoday.com/stories/4801.html)

Ed Muth has been trying to FUD open source with his foot
in his mouth a lot about how Open Source (specifically Linux)
won't work for the typical tech buyer (i.e. CIO), mostly
because anyone can hack open sources.

His latest quote:

 "We have been able to avoid the fractionalization of the 
 Windows NT marketplace by bringing the work that people 
 do back into a well-controlled source tree and making 
 sure it gets subjected to the same quality control," 
 said Ed Muth, Microsoft's group manager for Windows 2000.

This is just *BEGGING* for a response from an open source project
with a core team.

Anyone know where I could find such a project?  :-)
